1 Governing Authority Glynn County Recreation and Parks Department 2018 Youth Softball Rules and Regulations REVISED 2/15/ The Manager of the GCRPD reserves the right to all final decisions. 2. The 2018 USA Softball Rulebook and the 2018 GRPA rules will be used in all divisions except as noted in the General and Special League Rules. General League Rules GLYNN COUNTY RECREATION & PARKS DEPARTMENT Athletics Division 323 Old Jesup Road; Brunswick, Georgia (912) Weather Hotline: Our Mission: To provide quality, year round recreational activities, facilities, and services that are safe, fun, and enhance the quality of life for all Glynn County citizens. A coach is required to notify the GCRPD s Athletics Division immediately after finding out that a player on his/her official GCRPD roster has decided not to play. The Athletics Division will verify this with the parent/guardian. Once verified, another player from the HOLD LIST (If available) will be assigned. No coach can add a player to his/her team on its own. All players must be registered with the GCRPD. Any coach using an illegal player will be suspended from coaching immediately and will be required to meet with GCRPD s Athletics Division/Management staff in which there is not a guarantee of receiving coaching privileges back. All teams that play in the GCRPD program will be issued uniforms supplied by the GCRPD. NO uniforms other than those given to the coach for his/her team will be allowed to be worn unless prior approval is given by the GCRPD s Athletics Division. Coaches wanting to purchase additional uniforms must have the design, color of jersey, etc. approved by the GCRPD s Athletic Division before the uniforms are purchased. Coaches not following this policy will be removed as a coach immediately and will be required to meet with the GCRPD s Athletics Division/Management staff in which there is not a guarantee of receiving coaching privileges back. Any coach violating this policy will not be able to coach in the All-Star program. 1. The age control date for youth softball is prior to January 1, The age divisions for youth softball are as follows: *Little Bits 7-8 *Mites 9-10 *Midgets *Juniors *Seniors All children will participate in every game provided they attend practice, conform to rules, and present no disciplinary problems. The GCRPD s Athletics Division has the option of disciplining a child if necessary. 4. All players that are present for a game will be inserted in the scorebook and must bat in that order for the entire game.
2 5. Players arriving late for a game will be inserted at the bottom of the batting order and will be inserted in the rotation as soon as possible. 6. A game may be started with seven (7) players. The game will be a forfeit if there are less than seven (7) players present. If both teams have less than seven (7) players present, both teams will forfeit. 7. There will be a 10 MINUTE GRACE PERIOD for the FIRST GAME ONLY. If the 10 minute grace period is used, the 10 minutes WILL NOT BE ADDED TO THE END OF THE GAME. The grace period is used only to get the minimum number of players needed to start the first game for that night. 8. The scorekeeper will keep the official game time. Both coaches will be made aware of the starting time. NO NEW INNING WILL START WITH FIVE (5) MINUTES OR LESS LEFT IN A GAME. This means that if the clock has 6:00 or more showing in the minute location when the third out is recorded, then another inning will be started. Otherwise, the game is over. 9. There must be one (1) coach who has completed the mandatory Concussion Training with each team at all times. 10. No coaches or players will be allowed on the field using tobacco or alcohol products or wearing tobacco or alcohol related material. 11. A team may have one (1) head coach and one (1) assistant coach prior to the draft. 12. The GCRPD s Athletics Division recommends that a coach have no more than three (3) scheduled events per week. 13. Coaches or players demonstrating unsportsmanlike conduct (i.e. using bad language, throwing bats, helmets, and gloves etc.) will be ejected from a ball game and will not be allowed to participate in the next game. If a coach or player is ejected a second time, he/she will not be allowed to participate in the remainder of the season. ANY COACH EJECTED FROM ANY GAME WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COACH OR ASSIST AN ALLSTAR GAME. ALSO, ANY COACH WHO REMOVES HIS TEAM FROM THE FIELD WILL BE SUSPENDED FROM COACHING ANY GCRPD YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAM INDEFINITELY. 14. A game that cannot be completed (except due to time limit), will be completed from the stopping point on a newly scheduled date. The game will continue with the lineup and the field assignments the same as when the game was stopped. If a player is not available for the continuation, then a player that was not available for the first game may be entered into the open position in the lineup. A game will be considered complete if the home team is ahead after the visitor s bat in the top of the fourth inning, or if the home team has completed the bottom of the fourth inning. 15. If a game is tied after the time limit or the maximum number of innings for that league has been played, the game will remain a tie. 16. The speed up rule will be used in all leagues (if the catcher is on base with two outs, the player who made the last out will replace her). This rule will not apply when the home team has its last at bat. 17. The home team will occupy the first base dugout. 18. The catcher is required to wear catcher s equipment. 19. Teammates including the catcher are allowed to chatter on the field. Catchers may NOT talk directly to the batter while in the batter s box. No player may use or make a negative comment/remark to any player or team. This applies to players in the dugouts as well. 20. Batters must wear batting helmets at all times. Removal of the helmet before entering the 2
3 dugout will result in an out. If a batter makes an out hitting and then removes her helmet before entering the dugout, the team will be given another out. Chins straps are recommended but not mandatory. 21. Slinging of a bat is the judgment of the umpire. There will be one warning per team. After a team is warned, slinging of the bat will result in an out. This is a delay dead ball; the player is called out after the play ends and all preceding action stands. 22. A team that believes a runner missed a bag must appeal to the umpire. 23. No jewelry including plastic or rubber jewelry is to be worn during games. This means no watches, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. 24. There will be one (1) offensive and one (1) defensive conference per inning. 25. The run rule for all age divisions is as follows: eight (8) runs after five (5) innings, 10 runs after four (4) innings, and 12 runs after (3) three innings. 26. The mandatory play rule will apply in all leagues. All players will play in each game. All players will be listed in the batting order. When a game begins, the players that are not going into the field (defense) in the first inning must go on the field on defense in the second inning. Example: In the first inning, Susie, Sally and Stacy are on the bench. When your team goes onto the field in the second inning, Susie, Sally, and Stacy must go onto the field leaving three (3) different players on the bench. No player can be on the bench for two (2) innings in a row. 27. A player may play up no more than one (1) year. Example: If Sally is eight (8) years old, she can move up into the Mite League (9-10) as an eight (8) year old. 28. The umpire, at his discretion, can adjust the arc to the pitching machine any time during the game for ball control. No adjustment to the speed will be allowed. 29. Steel cleats are allowed in the Junior/Senior age division league only. 30. All bats must conform to USA standards as shown on the USA approved bat list, or not be on the USA non-approved bat list that is listed on the USA website Any player using an illegal bat during a game will be ejected along with the head coach for that game and the next played game. Little Bits 7-8 LEAGUE SPECIFIC RULES The GCRPD s Athletics Division believes in providing a safe, fun atmosphere for the youth in its programs, while teaching the kids the fundamentals of the game, sportsmanship and other lessons. This league is designed to teach the kids the fundamentals of the game including but not limited to; a. Throwing to the proper base when fielding a ball. b. Catching a thrown ball to get an out whether a forced out or not. c. Making a tag on a player properly. d. Making a runner back to a base, then making a play to another base. e. Fielding a slow roller or softly hit ball. f. Hitting the cut-off person when the ball is hit in the outfield. g. Throwing from the outfield to the cut-off person to second base, third base or home plate to stop a runner from advancing or scoring. 2. There will be a one base advancement on an overthrown ball to any base with the base 3
4 runner having the possibility of being thrown out. This rule is intended to not penalize a team from having its players make an attempt at throwing to a base to get a runner out and having the thrown ball being dropped by the base person, or an inaccurate throw made. All base runners ahead of the batter-runner that has the one base advancement may advance on the hit and throw with no limitations and with the possibility of being thrown out. 3. A complete game will consist of six (6) innings, one (1) hour, or with the home team at bat and winning with five (5) minutes or less left in the game. 4. The infield fly rule will not be in effect. 5. One (1) umpire will be located behind the machine to feed the balls and to make all calls on the bases. The plate umpire will keep track of total pitches per batter. 6. To stop play the players must stop the play themselves. However, the umpire does have the authority to stop play when he/she feels necessary. 7. A defensive team will consist of 10 fielders. Players must play their designated position with the outfielders playing on the grass. 8. The pitching machine will be placed 40 feet from home plate and set at 34 MPH. The umpire will feed the pitching machine and adjust the machine during the game if needed. If the machine cannot be used, then the batting team s coach will pitch from a designated line set by the GCRPD s Athletics Division. 9. A batter will receive a maximum of five (5) pitches. The batter can strike out on three (3) swinging attempts. If the batter fouls off the last pitch, she will receive another pitch until she hits the ball fair or strikes out. There will be no walks. NOTE: If the umpire behind the plate or feeding the machine feels that the pitch provided by the machine is unhittable, a NO PITCH will be called and will not count as one of five (5) pitches to that batter. This is a judgment call by the umpire and cannot be overruled. 10. Bunting is NOT allowed, and defensive players must remain behind the pitching machine prior to the pitch. 11. If a batted ball hits the pitching machine, it will be ruled a dead ball single and all base runners will advance one (1) base, if forced. If a thrown ball hits the machine, it will be ruled a dead ball and the base runners will advance one (1) base from the time of the throw. This rule does not apply to throws that are intended to go back to the pitcher after a play has ended. 12. A player playing the pitcher position must have one (1) foot in the circle behind the pitching machine prior to the pitch. 13. Stealing is not allowed. 14. Both offensive coaches must remain in the coach s box. All other offensive coaches must be in the dugout. Any defensive coach (maximum of one) may be in the outfield and positioned behind the fielders so that they may instruct players for positioning and fundamental reinforcement. Any instructions to the infield players must be done from the dugout coaches and sidelines, and no closer than first or third base line. No coach may be positioned on the infield and may be no closer to the batter than the farthest outfielder(s). 15. There will be a six (6) run limit per inning. Mites Girls (9-10) It is the intent of the GCRPD s Athletic Division to continue with the development of the players in this from the previous age division league. Scoreboards will be used. However, additional rules have been placed in this age division to stop the coaches who continue to run players the entire game. The 4
5 intent is also to further develop the girls with fundamentals, game play situations, sportsmanship, and to increase their knowledge of the complete game. 1. The batters/runners or base runners may advance as much as they can with the possibility of being thrown out on any overthrown ball. For sportsmanship purposes, coaches are asked to not continue to run players if they are up by more than 10 runs. 2. A complete game consists of six (6) innings, one (1) hour, or with the home team at bat and winning with five (5) minutes or less left in the game. 3. The infield fly rule will not be in effect. 4. A team may not score more than 10 runs per inning. Play will stop after the tenth run scores in which teams will change sides. 5. There will be no stop play rule for this league. Defensive players must stop play. Once this is done, they will give the ball to the machine umpire. 6. A defensive team will consist of 10 fielders. Players must play their designated position with all four (4) outfielders playing on the outfield grass. 7. The pitching machine will be placed 40 feet from home plate and set at 37 MPH. The umpire will feed the pitching machine and adjust the machine during the game if needed. If the machine cannot be used, then the batting team s coach will pitch from a point set by the GCRPD s Athletics staff. If a batted ball hits the pitching coach, it will be declared a dead ball single and all runners will advance, if forced. 8. The batter can strike out on three (3) swinging or called strikes. There will be no walks. A batter will receive an additional pitch if the final strike is a foul. If two (2) umpires are assigned to a game, the plate umpire will call strikes. If only one umpire is working a game, the umpire feeding the machine will call strikes. 9. A batter is out on a dropped third strike and cannot advance. 10. Bunting is allowed but defensive players must remain behind the pitching machine prior to the pitch. As a safety rule, a batter may not present the bat to bunt and then swing away. If this is done, regardless if contact is made or the batter swings and misses, she is automatically called out and all other base runners will be returned to their original starting place prior to that pitch (NO FAKE BUNTS!). All infielders must be behind the machine at time of the pitch. 11. If a batted ball hits the pitching machine, it will be ruled a dead ball single and all existing base runners will advance, if forced. If a thrown ball hits the machine, it will be ruled a dead ball and the runners will advance one base from the time of the throw. This rule is not intended for throws coming back from a player to the pitcher after a play is over. 12. The player playing the pitcher position must have one (1) foot in the circle behind the pitching machine prior to the pitch. 13. Stealing is allowed with the following limitations; a. Stealing is allowed once the ball crosses home plate, and then only one base advance is allowed. b. A player may not steal home at any time. c. The base runners must stay in contact with the base until the pitch crosses home plate. The penalty is an out. d. If a thrown ball hits the machine or umpire feeding the machine, it is a dead ball and each base runner is awarded one base. e. If a throw becomes an overthrow during a stolen base attempt, the one (1) base restriction will apply for stolen bases only (ball is dead, no advancement). 5
6 f. NOTE: If a No Pitch is called during an attempted steal, the base runner must return to her original base. 14. Base runners may advance one (1) base on a pass ball with the possibility of being thrown out. Runners may not score on a pass ball at any time. 15. There is no look back rule. Midget Girls A game consists of six (6) innings, 75 minute time limit, or with the home team at bat and winning with five (5) minutes or less left in the game. 2. A player may pitch using a modified underhand pitch with or without the windmill, if needed. Contact must be kept with the pitching rubber at time of release. 3. The infield fly rule is in effect. 4. Players will pitch from a distance of 40 feet from home plate. 5. The base runners are required to stay in contact with the base until the ball leaves the pitching circle. The runner is automatically out for leaving the base before this. This is a judgment call by the umpires and is not a call that can be overturned. The ball is dead and all subsequent action on the pitch is canceled. All runners must return to the base occupied at the time of the pitch. 6. A batter is out on a dropped third strike and cannot advance. 7. Nine (9) players will be used on the defensive side. Each team will utilize three (3) outfielders. 8. No more than six (6) runs per inning may be scored by a team. Play will stop when the sixth run scores in which the sides will change up. 9. Stealing is allowed with the following exceptions: a. Stealing from First Base to Second Base and from Second Base to Third Base at any time is allowed. b. There will be no stealing home on a pass ball/wild pitch made by the pitcher/catcher tandem. c. If a ball is overthrown to the pitcher, infielder or any other player involved in the play, all runners may advance to any and all bases including home at the risk of being put out. 10. NO STEEL CLEATS ARE ALLOWED. Junior/Senior Girls A complete game consists of seven (7) innings, 75 minutes, or with the home team at bat and winning with five (5) minutes or less left in the game. 2. Players will pitch from a distance of 43 feet from home plate. 3. The infield fly rule is in effect. 4. Base runners are required to stay in contact with the base until the ball leaves the chalk circle in which the pitcher stands. 5. STEEL CLEATS ARE ALLOWED IN JUNIOR/SENIOR LEAGUE ONLY. 6
